Comparing Campaigns »
I'm realistic. I know that asking for money isn't likely to bring much in the way of results, especially when I'm not really delivering anything directly (like a particular feature). I know that whether I can answer your OS X questions or not isn't really a big deal to you in the scheme of things. But I figured I'd try.
If the folks at Spread Firefox can gather nearly 5500 donations (at last count), at a minimum of $10 each, I figured what the heck. If each of those 5500 people - or even 5500 different people - donated $0.50 to my campaign, I'd be over the top. Something completely unexpected.
If they each donated only $0.10, I'd be able to get a middling Mac, which is really all I'd like to do. 10 cents each - holy cow! That's nothing. That's a cup of ice at some restaurants. How many of you Mac users out there drop 3 or 4 dollars on a coffee drink at least once a day? Now imagine donating just one cup each to this campaign. I'd be there in no time!

Why isn't it showing any cash yet?

Sorry about that - for some reason, payments sometimes are not accepted on my PayPal account. I thought I had checked settings, and some payments seem to come through right away. I don't really get too many payments, so I haven't taken the time to look into it. In any case, it ought to show something now. Thanks for the reminder.
